In a video posted to Instagram, McCarthy admitted “we blew it.”
“We made a mistake and we backed a charity that, upon proper vetting, stands for everything that we do not,” the Bridesmaids star said. “So, I want to thank everyone on social media who said, ‘What are you doing? Are you sure you want to back this?’ Because the answer is no we do not.”
McCarthy also noted they’ve “pulled it” from the campaign. “We are so incredibly grateful for you ringing the bell and helping us be better,” she continued. “We’re sorry for our mistake. Oh boy, are we sorry for it. Can’t believe that we missed it.”
In addition, she expressed her hope that this “doesn’t ding the other charities,” noting that “they’re really doing some amazing things.”
“So, let the kindness continue and thank you,” she concluded. “Thanks for the help. We really needed it.”
